Subject: PC: Thursday 10/1 Update

Since Sunday, I've been in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Mexico
and have just watched (or FF'ed) over 4 days of GH and PC, so if I stray
away from just Thursdays PC in this update, blame my employer.

Julie and Eve snipe at each other from adjoining cells.  Julie cruelly brings
up Scott's not being there.  (I've mentioned it before but I have to say it
again - Julie is much better as a bitch than she was as a good girl!)  Julie
blames Scott for her being there and accuses Eve and Scott of planting the
voice device.  Eve brings up that no one has died since Julie's been in jail.
Julie claims that's because Eve is lying low and won't get out of jail alive.
Later, Eve taunts Julie while she is looking through a notebook.  She tells
her she'll need a huge loophole.  Julie inexplicably says that Eve probably
knows a lot about law from her days as a hooker and brings up that Eve's
mother did time.  Eve says her mother was defending herself against an
attacker.  Julie asks if she stuck a pen in him.  Eve tells Julie that Bennett
was disappointed in Julie and thought that Julie wasn't as good as Buddy.
In an extremely low blow, she asks if that's why Julie killed Buddy, to
knock off the competition.  Julie loses it and yells at Eve to shut her mouth,
accidentally tossing the pen into Eve's cell.  Eve picks it up and mentions
how odd it was that Bennett gave both his lover and his daughter the same
gift.  Julie grabs Eve's hand and while fighting, Julie is stabbed by the pen.
She calls for the guard and yells at Eve that she stabbed her, while Eve
holds the pen and looks horrified.  The guards arrive, one takes the pen, the
other leads Julie out.  For some reason, they are both wearing latex gloves -
maybe all jail guards wear them??

Kevin goes to Gail's and expresses his sympathy - Gail does the same.  He
asks about Serena.  Gail tells him that she is very withdrawn.  (This was a
very strange scene because the GH world is a day ahead of the PC world.)
Kevin explains that he wanted to feel numb about Lucy by now, but every
thing inside just aches.  Kevin asks if there was a positive ID on the bodies.
She says no, but points out the circumstantial evidence that the bodies were
Scott and Lucy.  Kevin diagnoses himself as being in the first stage of grief -
denial.  Gail says it can take years to get over a loss and you start to dream
about them.  Kevin is looking forward to seeing Lucy - even if only in a dream.
But Gail says waking up and realizing it was just a dream is a shock.  They
realize that all their education doesn't help them accept things.  Kevin talks
about how infuriating Lucy could be but he loved her.  Gail says she couldn't
have loved Scott more if he had been her natural child.  (Updater's rant: I
hate that term - it implies that adoptive children are unnatural - I prefer
biological, I now return you to the update.)  She talks about how Scott could
be such a devil and get Lee so mad.  Kevin laughingly tells her that he used
to get mad at Scott too when Scott first came to town and lived with him and
Lucy.  They talk about Scott and Lucy's unique type of friendship and Kevin
correctly guesses that where ever they are, they are probably still going at
it.
Serena and Karen arrive home from the park.  Kevin tells her he's sorry about
her daddy and they hug.  Serena says she also misses Lucy.  She tells Gail she
wants to pick out stuff to put in Lucy's and Daddy's coffin.  She wants to give

Scott her ring and Dirty Kitty.  She wants to give Lucy the knitted sweater
that
Lucy had made for Serena while she was pregnant.   Later, Serena is upstairs
dictating messages to Scott and Lucy - Karen wonders if it's healthy.  Kevin
thinks it is.  Suddenly, Gail on the phone, squeals with delight - the dental
records don't match - the bodies aren't Lucy and Scott's!!!  Karen wants to
head to Florida, but Gail says they can't - a hurricane is on the way.

Meanwhile, Lucy is aching too - but from hunger.  Scott and Lucy look about
the house and find a storage trunk.  Scott drags Lucy around the room looking
for something to break open the trunk with.  He finds an ax and starts hitting
the trunk and venting his anger at the situation.  The box is full of empty
cans
and a map in Spanish.  Scott puts it in his pocket.  Lucy says things could be
worse, Scott thinks things can't get any worse.  It starts thundering and
raining -
the rain leaks through the roof.  Scott decides to use the ax to break apart
the
handcuffs.  Lucy worries that he'll miss - but Scott says then one of them will
just bleed to death.  For some reason, Lucy isn't reassured, but Scott is able
to cut through the chain.  They split up to search the house.  They go to
search
the pantry and kitchen, making me wonder why they didn't search for food in
those places first.  Lucy finds cans in the kitchen, including one of
applesauce to
Scott's delight.  She mentions some guns and knifes and nets she also found.
Scott figures they belong to alligator poachers, but they'll worry about that
after
they eat.  After eating, Lucy tells Scott it looks like things are finally
going their
way.  Just then a shutter blows open - frightening Lucy.  Scott says it's just
the
wind, but Lucy realizes that it's much worse.  They stare out of a broken
window
at the approaching storm.
